The last time I checked, this was a free country and you are pretty much
entitled to call yourself anything you like so long as there is no intent to
defraud the public. You can call yourself "Grand Imperial Poobah Of The
Waterbuffalo Lodge" or "Doctor Telefunken UB48" or even just "The Dude" if you
like. (Or "Your Dudeness", if you are not into the whole brevity thing.) The
problem comes in when you start representing to the public (generally involving
commercial transactions) that you are competent to do something for which you
are not qualified. (Think of medical doctors vs PhDs. Both go by the title
"Doctor" but only one attempts to practice medicine.)
BTW: My legal opinions are worth what you pay for them. :-)
